I did say I am being dense here, and that denseness continues. I saw the code you refer to. What am I to do with that code? Does it go in my package or in my index.cgi? It seems it should go in index.cgi, but putting it there (with the necessary modifications, of course) and then going to http://<server>/myapp/index.cgi/view, ends up with the error 

No such run mode 'view' at .../index.cgi

Additionally, I can't really have id => 'Item' hard coded in my script. The string 'Item' is shown just for example. It changes all the time.

Sorry, I am not getting it.
